The vast majority of Chinese students in America have no intention to stay here. They hang out with the other Chinese students, not even bothering to learn English properly, share notes and homework answers with their Chinese buddies to pass classes and get their diploma before returning to China and working in their millionaire daddy's company.

They have no value for American customs or values, they scoff at the culture. They look down on the level of development of the (usually) small-mid size college town they're studying in. They don't even want to speak much with the relatively broke American students in their school. They use Top 100 American colleges as a shortcut to an easy prestigious diploma. They couldn't get a good enough score on the Gaokao for an equally prestigious school in China so they just use daddy's money to get an American diploma that still holds similar weight by the boomer business world there.

The world doesn't envy anything about America except the money. No one who has good money in their home country wants to live here.

And that’s why you can always find a little America Town across every Chinese city.

Reread my last paragraph.

The Chinese American population are mostly descendants of dead broke Chinese immigrants who came here to make a living. Even they want nothing to do with American culture. Isolating into their own little Chinatown bubbles is not a sign that they love and want to join the American culture.

Of course a lot of their kids are Americanized and try to fit into the culture here, but no one who grew up in China loves American culture.
